It's true.
I have seen posts here, and talked to people IRL who STILL hate Les Miles exactly because he :
1. Came out on the Monday night in September of 2005 with a Britney Spears head set.
2. Had the audacity to be caught on camera looking for his wife in the seating area, and asking "Where's my wife?"
3. For pumping his fist in excitement as the teams left the field for halftime.
His teams played in two national championship games, and won it once. Lost the other one likely because of his shortcomings, but that 2005-1/9/12 run was unprecedented, and even after 1/9/12 while disappointing, was still pretty good.
But Tiger fans have never forgotten or forgiven that first home game, and it defies logic, it borders on all-out misery and hatred for no. good. reason.
Yes, it was time by the end of 2015 what with the promises, and the loyalty. Many good coaches have lost jobs due to such loyalty, Ed Orgeron will be another, but Les Miles had this fault, Jim Mora had it, and even Bum Phillips had it. It's really sad to say that loyalty can be a fault in football.
But the blind hatred of Les Miles based on pre-game and one half of football in 2005...yes, he had blowback. At least we know that 0 sucks, and maybe deserves it. Looking back, Les Miles didn't.

I’ve never heard these 3 things.
Average IQ, inability to develop talent, putting his friends above the university, and being shockingly clueless in-game are his legacies.

I can honestly say that your summation of my hatred of Les Miles originated from that Tennessee game. Although it wasn't for his Brittney Spears headset. Mostly because we blew a f'ing 20 point lead. But I digress.
What I hate now is the shear ineptitude of an Administration that said "frick it, let's just hire a bunch of old dudes and serve the fans some warmed over bullshite". I hated Les because Les really had a chance of not being a moron and failed, while Orgeron IS a moron with no chance of being anything better than a drunk coonass.
I hate Alleva right now way more than I hate O or hated Les.
